There are many laws prescribed for the Jewish people, but here Jesus summarizes them in two commandments: love God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind, with all your strength; love your neighbor as yourself. The scribe in question in this passage is convinced of this and Jesus tells him that he is close to the kingdom of heaven. Not that he is already there, but he knows what he must do to get there.
